| Quote Billinge_Lump="Billinge_Lump"I think it was more likely that the big match charlies (who made up that increased turnout) thought we'd win the match, having turned over Wigan twice who were favourites and we were playing Leeds who had 'fluked' their way there.
Most fans couldn't care less who's in the team as long as they are winning.'"
That could well be the case (on both points). I think we had beaten Wigan in the playoffs before though, yes?
Anectodally, around me at the GF people were talking a lot pre-match about the local lads.

Once again, a completely unnecessary comment.
Couldn't care less myself. I was just responding to your post.

[iWillie Manu has revealed how Sia Soliola and Tony Puletua convinced him to join St Helens for next season.
Manu told BBC Radio Merseyside: "I met Sia with the Exiles and I know TP from my time in Australia. They both had good things to say.
"It's a good club and they've got a new coach (Nathan Brown) coming in. I'm looking forward to the challenge."
The Tonga international, 32, will move from Hull FC and has agreed a two-year contract with Saints.
After lengthy discussions about the move with his family, Manu is confident he has made the right choice.
"It took us about two months to finally come to a decision," said the back-row forward. "I talked it through with my wife, we weighed up all our options and we thought it was time for a chance and a new challenge.
"I am still enjoying myself at Hull but there comes a time when you need a change and that's why I'm going to Saints.
"I'm just glad it's done and dusted. I can concentrate on trying to finish on a good note at Hull and then think about St Helens."
Manu, along with future Saints team-mates Puletua and Soliola, will start for the Exiles against England at Langtree Park on Saturday.[/i

I would think that said talking was probably started by you as you seem to like ramming your opinion down everybody else's throat!!!!!!!!!!

Same.
Plenty of disappointed conversation after the game though when we lacked the firepower to become Champions.

Disappointed or disproportionate because we didn't lose last year's Grand Final because of a lack of firepower.
